どうぞ　～　遠慮しないで下さい。

[Hi-Deki]

may be sonna and konna have some kind of relation like sono and kono

[Hi-Deki]

今日は日本図書館へ行きました
多分旅行は三時までほどですた
図書館で入ていました時に図書館の人で私のカードが上げました
十時午前から十二午後まで本を読みました
十二午後昼食を食べました
昼食を食べました後で本を読むすずきますた
四時午後で帰りますた
何で一日中で図書館でいますか？　今日は私の休みの日ですから

マックスさんこれはどでしたか？


this is the first time that ever type this many japanese characters XD
took some trials and errors to get them, I should just written them with my tablet but that may be even harder and provably i have i lot of mistakes

マスさん i just copied this from シイアさん thought it was your name but i was mine after all, i didn't read it so didn't notice.

Well, did you really check out the site before?:)
多分旅行は三時までほどですた... i'm not quite sure what you want to say here, and the past form of です is でした and not ですた

The masu-conjugations come in the end of sentences and not in the middle of them, so therefore
図書館に入った時に図書館の人が私のカードをくれました
pjuh, i changed some practicles to what it's supposed to be.
You should check out the site i gave you before and have look over あげる、くれる、もらう

十時午前から十二午後まで本を読みました is almost right, it should be 十時午前から十二午後まで本を読んでいました。

昼食を食べました後で本を読むすずきますた ok, sometimes you write ますた and sometimes ました, well i hope you know which one is right :P.
To say "and" with verbs you have to conjugate them to the te-form... like お昼に昼食を食べて本を読みつづきました。

何で一日中で図書館でいますか？　今日は私の休みの日ですから.. you can really make this to one sentence
今日は休みですから一日中に図書館でいました

[Hi-Deki]

どもありがとうございます

I haven't really read the site yet, right now i have some places to go so im a bit busy.
this really helps a lot, that I realize i haven't paid much attention to grammar even thought i have read it before, i haven't really practice it.

[Shia]

Isnt あげる (not kani) [you give to someone] and くれる [someone gives to you]
E.g. I gave my mother a present = 私は母にプレセンとをあげました
E.g. My mother gave me a present =　母は私にプレセントをくれました

That being said, if you wanted to say [I gave my (library) card to the librarian], I think that would be = 私は図書館員にカードをあげました. But if you wanted to say [the librarian gave me my (library) card], I think that would be = 図書館員は私にカードをくれました。 Which did you mean?

[Hi-Deki]

uhu didn't know ageru doesn't have a kanji and also 図書館員 forgot about this

[Shia]

Which did you mean to say?

I think あげる can be written as 上げる but I always write give あげる and to raise up 上げる. That's just how i distinguish it.

Oh and just so you know, the 午後 or 午前 goes in front of the time. So 10 am would be 午前十時 and 12 pm would be 午後十二時.

[Hi-Deki]

gave

あげる and 上げる are different?
あげる = give
上げる = raised

Oh and just so you know, the 午後 or 午前 goes in front of the time. So 10 am would be 午前十時 and 12 pm would be 午後十二時. - I'll check on this, I was kinda sure it goes to the last.

[Shia]

Like i said, i think あげる (give) CAN be written with the kanji 上. But I usually dont cause thats how I distinguish the difference.

[Hi-Deki]

ok i got it あげる (give) 上げる (raised)
maybe this how most people distinguish the difference.

[Shia]

This is what I think you meant (please tell me if im wrong):

私今日は図書館に行きました。「図書館で三時間くらいいるつもりでした」。 図書館に入って図書館員にカードをあげました。午前十時から午後十二時まで本を読んでいました。午後十二時に昼食を食べました。昼食を食べた後で本を読んで続きました。 午後四時に帰りました。なぜ私今日は図書館で一日中いましたか...休みだから。

Hope you can spot the differences.

[Hi-Deki]

図書館で入ていました時に図書館員に私のカードをあげました = when i entered the libriary i gave the librarian my library card
some other difference was me using に へ で
the rest was right on.

今日は日本図書館へ行きました if this was 今日は日本図書館へ行きます this sentence would have been correct right?
on your sentence [私今日は図書館に行きました] に was used because of 行きました being passive right?
how do you type this character 。
you use ichi 一 on the center of カード, im asking cause im not sure.
this was a mistake までほどですた , it should have bee just hodou deshita.
多分旅行は三時ほどうですた = may be it took more than 3 hour to travel
hodou means about or more right?
why do you use 読んでいました instead of 読みました.
